In my chest I know How he felt when they left, when they go Every muscle, every tendon, every bone Screams “no, please, don’t”
And the flesh is just the flesh, just something to get past All the tissues, all the cartilage, all of the soft fat And if one day you must die, I want it to be Inside me
Limb to limb, split spine to sternum, Ripped open and spread out, swallowed in my bowels Anything to make you stay, Anything to make you stay
In my blood I’m the same Everything I want to love, I degrade Every muscle, every tendon, every bone I take and humiliate
And the flesh is just the flesh, but when it’s all that you have left It becomes the only thing you can keep of them And when one day you know that they’re going to go Your bones scream “no, please, don’t”
Limb to limb, split spine to sternum, Ripped open and spread out, swallowed in my bowels Anything to make you stay, Anything to make you stay
Every mess I make, I make on purpose, So I can lie in it when it’s over The only things I have of you I keep Underneath my skin, inside me
In my chest I know How he felt when they left, when they go
